Takacat Owner’s LX Series Manual - 2022
Assembly Instructions:
1. Open the box and get out the boat hull tubes. Unfold and open out on a clean,
flat surface.
2. Locate the inflator valve at the rear of the hulls and inflate to 3 psi with the
included hand pump or optional electric pump. Don’t forget to activate the check
valve in the inflation valve by pressing down on the centre pin and turning it ¼
turn in either direction. If the check valve is popped up, it won’t let any air
escape.
NB: The pressures should be at the heat of the day so if the setting up on a
cold morning either re check the pressure at the heat of the day or allow for
some pressure/expansion by not inflating to the max pressure
NB: If you are finding the valve leaking a little air after pumping up, this is
common as the boats are all handmade and the valves can loosen when
deflated and packed for shipping. Just use the valve tool in the repair kit and
tighten a ¼ turn and it should help tighten the valve.
3. From the rear – insert the lower transom bar into the lower set of tubes on the
boat hulls. The stainless tab should be facing up when installed properly.
(NB: The black flaps in the photos below are no longer on the boats as
there has been a design change in 2021 – new photos will be coming
soon)
